NEAL CONAN, Host: From National Public Radio in Washington, D.C.,
this is Weekend Edition. I'm Neal Conan.
On this day in 1916 Irish Nationalists launched the Easter Rising
against the British by reading a proclamation of the Irish Republic
at the main post office in Dublin. After a week of fighting, the
rising was crushed, but the seeds of rebellion were sown, and William
Butler Yeats was inspired to write, `Now, and in time to be, wherever
green is worn, our change - changed utterly - a terrible beauty is
born.'
After the newscast, the Week in Review with Daniel Schorr. Today
is Saturday, April 24, 1993.
